This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID80X25S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID80X25S in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.

The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID80X25S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 25mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID80X25S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.
The AirTAC B06-SID80X25S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the rod exits both ends on one piston, making push and pull force equal at 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SID80X25S; it is mechanically identical to the standard model, featuring a 25 mm stroke, G3/8 port, M20x1.5 rod thread, and 36 mm adjustable air cushions. This SID model is discontinued and is fully replaced by the drop-in SAID80X25S, which shares the exact ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, and stroke.
The SAID replacement upgrades the piston seal to two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life. Because both faces use the rod-side area, the equal force prevents rod drift during direction changes. For sizing, the safe working load is roughly 1361 N (about 60% of the 2268 N @0.5 MPa figure), yielding a vertical lift capacity of approximately 116 kg with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for held loads.

The B06-SAID80X25S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Legacy SI-family variants: SID (double rod), SIJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAI equivalent (SID→SAID, SIJ→SAIJ). Rod material: carbon steel (blank) / SUS420J2 (A) / SUS304 (B).
Equal both ways force aligns battery cells precisely during stacking, preventing drift on the return stroke.
The double rod carries a sensor cam on the back while driving the welding head, ensuring precise tab placement.
Anti-rotation stability from the dual rods securely transfers battery packs between conveyor belts without twisting.
To replace the discontinued B06-SID80X25S, use the drop-in SAID80X25S, which preserves the ISO 15552 mounting interface, G3/8 port, and equal-both-ways force. When sizing both ways, verify the 2268 N @0.5 MPa output fits your load, or step to neighbouring bores like 100 mm for higher force. A double rod is right when you need equal push/pull force, anti-rotation stability, or a back rod to carry a sensor cam. Mounting options include Basic, FA, LB, and TC. The -S magnet supports legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For this 25 mm stroke, side-load is minimal, but for strokes >=300 mm, ensure guide alignment to prevent binding.
Replacement checklist
Yes, the B06-SID80X25S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID80X25S. The B06- prefix only marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the standard SID80X25S. The SAID80X25S shares the same ISO 15552 interface, bore, stroke, G3/8 port, and mounting.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 2268 N @0.5 MPa, 3175 N @0.7 MPa, and 4082 N @0.9 MPa. The G3/8 port and 25 mm stroke operate at 30-800 mm/s. Safe working load is ~1361 N, allowing a vertical lift of ~116 kg with a 2:1 margin.
